With publishers on the lookout for SF again, the anthology Future Lovecraft has been picked up for reprinting with a view to major bookstore distribution…

Future Lovecraft Will Return… as a trade paperback. Future Lovecraft, originally published by Innsmouth Free Press and edited by me and Paula R. Stiles, is being reprinted by Prime Books. It will be available August 2012 in all sales channels. What does this mean? Brick-and-mortar sales. You’ll be able to walk into your Barnes & Noble or favourite indie store and pick a copy.

It’s already listed for pre-order on Amazon UK, which would seem to show that Prime is a publisher with some savvy. You can also currently get a Kindle edition for a bargain £2.49 in the UK.

A new blog post was made yesterday by S.T. Joshi…

“I was pleased to be asked by Scarecrow Press to initiate a series of scholarly or academic books on weird fiction. The series will, I believe, be called The Literature of the Supernatural.”

And the much-anticipated ‘heavily illustrated’ version of the biography, H.P. Lovecraft: Nightmare Countries, seems to be progressing well. I’m certainly really champing at the bit for that one.

Verminomicon: a Field Guide to the Vermin of Yuggoth; Abominations of a Haunted World (Raw Dog, 2012) is a new illustrated book featuring the sculptures of Anthony DeBartolis…

“In a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft, Verminomicon showcases the imagination and skill of sculptor Anthony DeBartolis who has spent years crafting more than thirty different species of vermin from Yuggoth. This disturbingly beautiful volume not only explores the multidimensional menace of the fungoid Mi-Go race established in “The Whisperer in Darkness,” but expands on Lovecraft’s twisted vision—at the reader’s peril. Full-color images of DeBartolis’ sculptures are paired with descriptive text from author John Edward Lawson to deliver a field guide of diabolic scope that also details the story of a scientist caught up in the Mi-Go plot against humanity.”

Pre-ordering now.
